Under The Mistletoe (1st Mix)

Here's the 1st tune in a small scale version that we've put together for you to practise to. Obviously you sound much better than us just playing it on our own but we hope this is helpful...! Here are the lyrics for the singers and anyone else that would like to learn the singing part...

When will you recognise me?
I am the face of now
New generations can
Show people how
Live for today while we still
Learn from our history
Until the day when we all can say we're free

We are diverse and proudly
We hold each other's hands
You may be different but
We're from the same land
We grew up side by side
It's all we've ever known
We're only building upon those seeds you've sewn

We see the world has problems
and we have problems too
Why are they fighting?
And what can we do?
We recognise each other
As friend and not a threat
How can you hate someone you have never met?


COMPLETE FIRST TUNE TO PLAY/SING ALONG TO!

'Embers' takes the listener on a journey through the engine of a steam train. It depicts the spaces and substances which can be found within, focusing on the coal, fire, water and steam. You will need good quality speakers to hear the really low frequencies used.

The world's first steam train was finished in 1804, built by British inventor Richard Trevithick. These locomotives are powered through the burning of a combustible material, usually coal, which heats water in the boiler to produce steam.

When preparing for a steam train to depart, coal is shoveled into the copper firebox and burned to create a fire. This firebox is surrounded by water, but it takes hours for the fire to heat up enough to boil the water and produce steam. Smoke from the fire is passed through the 'smoke tubes' and drawn out through the chimney. Steam is collected from the dome at the top of the boiler and sent through pipes to the pistons. Once there is enough pressure, the high pressure steam pushes the pistons back and forth creating energy for the wheels to turn. The "chuff-chuff" of a steam train is the sound of the low pressure steam being exhausted.

An ember can be defined as 'a glowing or smouldering piece of coal or wood' (www.thefreedictionary.com). Each piece of coal is a starting point for the combustion process which has powered steam trains for over 200 years.

Sounds used in my composition were recorded at the Museum of Science and Industry or in the studio.
